What is your experience using fbsd with large partitions ? > > FreeBSD-0 through FreeBSD-4 use UFS1 -- partition limit of 2TB FreeBSD-5 through FreeBSD-8 offer UFS2 -- partition limit 2^64-1 (Exabytes) FreeBSD-8 through CURRENT offer ZFS -- partition limit 2^128-1 (Zettabytes) I don't think anybody has created a filesystem beyond a few Petabytes, so UFS2 still meets the needs of "can I make a large partition" (read: if that's all you care about, there's no need to jump from 2^64-1 max to 2^128-1 max; however, ZFS offers so much more than just a bump to the maximum partition size -- albeit to an untenable value). -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
